I bought a pair of Powerbeats 3 but I haven't opened them and I'm reluctant to keep them after most reviews say the Bose Soundsport wireless sound way better. But I'm drawn to the W1 so not sure which way to go. 

Powerbeats 2 are fantastic sound so I'm sure 3 would be equal to just better battery. My favorite feature besides the sound... the distance!

i can leave my iPhone upstairs in the back bedroom, go downstairs to the kitchen to feed the cats or take the trash out and still can hear music, answer calls, text people, etc all from on the controller on the headset. It's really great. 

I also love love how once I turn on my truck they magically release to the truckss Bluetooth with no assistance and when I exit the truck the music is still playing but now in my ear. 

The 3 will be even better since it has the W1 Chi. Just make sure you use the largest flexi they have as it creates a suction keeping ALL the sound in your ear.

I've seen more than a few Apple Watches in the real world recently. More than I expected to see.

I am a 57 year old who works in health care at a large mid western hospital. I own apple stock and my wife and I own iphones.  Two months ago I bought a apple wacth and I love it.  At work it is not uncommon to see half a dozen others wearing a apple watch,  I know Physicians, nurses and others who wear them.  I also see them at the gym,  So yes, I think apple is on to something.  

My story is about the same as yours except I really didn't want the  Watch I felt my Powerbeats performed all the main functions I used - music, text, email, phone calls, not tethered to my phone because I could wonder around the house. My friend is a pharmacy manager and they are not allowed to take their phones out in the pharmacy so I bought him the  Watch because they can't wear beats headset as they are on the phone constantly. 

Wgen series 2 came out I broke down and bought the NIKE  awatch. How the hell did I get by before without this?  Damn I hate being wrong. LOL this fill all the gaps my headset didn't and then some. I use them together but I swear the Siri is 100% more accurate than the phone. I mean Powerbeats makes Siri about 90% accurate but I can actually talk to my  Watch and never say it twice or cancel to start over. Why is that??  I mean even in noisy situations like a movie theater before previews. Everyone yapping loudly but it finds my voice perfect every time. 

But my FAVORITE feature is maps. It vibrates before the next direction and one glance shows a HUGE arrow pointing left or right. LOVE THIS FEATURE. Because sometimes everyone is talking in the car I can't hear Siri but my  Watch vibrates, I glance at it and can clearly see what direction to go. 

Those of of you who put off buying it I swear it's worth the price and I love the health features too. I find myself trying to "close those rings" each day and normally I'm not an exercise freak.

That will be awesome for Apple to roll out new models 4 months after I invested in their below average iteration of the MacBookPro.

You have through January 8th to return your MacBook Pro. Apple extended the "I don't want it" date to compensate for the graphics issue. 

But just so so you know the graphics issue is fixed in the current beta were testing. 

 Slower than expected!  are you kidding me? I went to Apple every day for two months and they never had a plus! How do you expect the sell a thing when you don't make a thing?  Same for the watch. Seriously?

Does anyone know a good alternative?

Smoke signals?  A local homeless person?  Anyone who has not watched news in the 20 years or so?  Anyone one of those sources would be better that the garbage they spewed. 

Sorry
